Purchasing 40 copies will get a department-wide site license (products can be installed on as many computers as needed), otherwise you will get a floating license. |

There is no problem for putting the license file to the Intranet. However, you should make sure that only your students taking your courses can access to it. |
|
| Q. |
Can we run the software without accessing the Internet? |
| A. |
For Standard Edition products, accessing the Internet is required on each startup. For Professional Edition products, accessing the Internet is not required, but access to the floating license server (hosted by the institution) is required on each startup. |
|
| Q. |
Can we put a local copy of the software, tutorial, and documentation to our internal server to minimize traffic load? |
| A. |
There is no problem in putting our software, tutorial, and documentation at your internal server to speed up the download within your local network. Actually, we can provide an rsync service for your institution's server to synchronize with our servers. You can ask your technician to contact our technician at support@visual-paradigm.com. |

The license can be renewed annually and new certificate will be given to you at that time. |
|
